Sneeboer Helmantel Trowel

The Sneeboer product range is vast but I always get drawn to the unusual shaped tools that have often been designed for a specific use, or for somebody, or both. The Helmantel Trowel was made at the request of Joseph Helmantel, a Dutch garden designer and plant grower. Its unique shape has been designed for repeat replanting of young plug plants in nurseries. It's basically a weeding trowel with the handle cranked at 90 degrees. A few customers have mentioned it, and we'll see how we get on with it. Stainless steel head with an Ash handle. Hand forged by Sneeboer in the Netherlands, who have been making and developing garden tools since 1913. Now in the hands of 5th generation family members, Sneeboer use stainless steel to craft the ultimate tools for gardeners. Their tools are the anthesis of the cheap throw away culture. Built to last a lifetime and to be maintain in order to continue to perform like new. As this item is hand forged please expect to see some hammer marks and black coke marks on the surface. These add to the unique character of each tool and do not affect the durability or quality of the tool in anyway. Why invest in Sneeboer garden tools? Quite simply, they are high quality hand forged gardening tools that'll last a lifetime. Read our blog to find out more...
